Hey Dude

"Hey Dude," along with shows like "You Can't Do That On Television," "Clarissa Explains It All," "The Adventures of Pete & Pete," "Salute Your Shorts," "Roundhouse," and "Are You Afraid Of The Dark?" brings instant pangs of nostalgia to those who grew up on Nickelodeon as it passed from the 80s to the 90s, before it was overtaken by animated programming (though later shows like "The Secret World of Alex Mack" and "All That" managed to launch a few careers). While it wasn't perfect (Melody ISN'T the attractive one?), it was great fun, uncomplicated without being insulting to kids, and had characters who were unique and likable in context - except for Lucy as the all-purpose wisdom dispenser. The stories managed to stay lightweight yet engaging, and it was interesting observing what we would later know as sexual tension between the lead male and female (David Lascher and Kelly Brown). It's a shame that it never made it to video or at least reruns - it's due for a marathon.

This show really was a great show. I used to watch it every time it was on when I was younger, and I wish I could find it on nowadays. It's surprising that the only career that really took off was Christine Taylor's (every time I see her I sing the theme song - Yippy Ki Yi Yay, like the cowboys say). This show was a great show for any kid to watch - it was funny, and of course, it taught a lesson, as every show in the world did back in the early 90s. Sorry my review was bad. Just felt I hadda share some thoughts.

This was the best show on when I was a kid. I don't know actually how good the acting was cause I didn't know how to judge it then. But, I loved it. It was my favorite show. I'd still watch it if it was on. I thought it was soo cool that they lived on a ranch. And the actors were so funny. I wanted to go live with them. Whenever I see one of the actors on another TV show or a movie I identify them by their character on Hey Dude. Anyways, I loved this show. I wish it was still on the air.

I always tuned into this show with my sister it was awesome it was funny it had some romance and great actors. Nickelodeon had a great show here aside from Clarissa explains it all and you can't do that on TV. The Bar None ranch was a place you could go to just relax and have the staff in to so crazy antics in each episode. Some of these actors have gone on to do other things like David Lascher and Christine Taylor. This show was great and i wish they would air reruns i loved this show i grew up with it.

I miss watching shows like Hey Dude--good, wholesome fun! I remember watching and imagining that Melody, Ted, Brad, Danny, & the gang were my friends. I hope Nickelodeon will show the episodes more often.
